A personal driver for high-profile travel in Wellington means the same trained chauffeur in an unmarked Mercedes for every movement during your stay—airport arrival through to departure—with none of the handover friction that comes from multiple drivers or ride-share apps. chauffeur.co.nz has provided this continuity since 2002, using chauffeurs we employ directly, not contractors who can decline or cancel.

Why does an unmarked vehicle matter for high-profile clients?

An unmarked Mercedes E-Class or V-Class removes the visual cue that announces arrival or departure, which matters when discretion is part of the brief. The vehicles carry no livery, no roof signs, and no external branding—they read as private cars, not commercial fleet.

Can the same driver handle Wellington Airport and movement around the city for several days?

Yes. You book the chauffeur for the duration you need—whether that's a single day or a week—and the same driver manages your Wellington Airport pickup, meetings in Thorndon or the CBD, evening commitments in Oriental Bay, and your departure transfer. There's no roster rotation or shift handover.

How does pricing work when you need a driver for multiple days?

You see a fixed, GST-inclusive price for the full itinerary before you confirm—no meter, no surge, no daily surprises. The exact figure depends on your schedule and vehicle choice, and it's shown in full at /book once you enter your dates and movements.

What's the difference between the Mercedes E-Class and V-Class for this kind of travel?

The E-Class seats up to two passengers with two large suitcases and two carry-ons; the V-Class takes up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons. Both are unmarked, both offer the same driver continuity, so the choice comes down to party size and luggage rather than service level.

Who actually drives—an employee or an app contractor?

Every chauffeur is employed and trained by us, accountable to the same standards across your entire visit. They don't use a dispatch app that lets them decline jobs or hand off segments, and they don't disappear into a gig-economy roster between your airport run and your evening commitment.


Fixed prices, NZD, GST-inclusive. No surge, ever. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives, driven by a chauffeur we employ — trained by us and accountable to us, not an app contractor who can decline the job. The chauffeur — since 2002.
